Liverpool are in the market for a number 9 this summer, but finding a world-class striker who can carry the weight of being the primary goalscorer at Anfield is going to be hard. However, Richard Hughes is pushing towards signing one of the best forwards in the world.
Arne Slot has lost faith in Darwin Nunez, and the striker is almost certain to move on from Anfield after not starting a Premier League game since March.
The Liverpool manager wants a world-class striker to lead the line at Anfield, and the club’s priority target has been Alexander Isak for months. However, Newcastle are hell-bent on not selling him.
The Reds are considering alternatives, and it has been claimed that they are now pressing towards signing a top Isak replacement in the coming weeks.

There is going to be an arms race for Victor Osimhen, who is almost certain to leave Napoli once he returns from his loan spell at Galatasaray this summer.
Manchester United have already held talks with the striker, who wants a contract worth £10m before agreeing to join a club in the upcoming window.
However, according to TBR Football, Liverpool have barged into the race to sign the forward and are seriously considering taking him to Anfield.
He is seen as the world-class alternative to Isak, and will cost less than half of what Newcastle would demand for the Swede this summer.
Liverpool are pressing forward with an attempt to sign the striker from Napoli in the upcoming transfer window.
Osimhen has a £60m release clause in his contract, which would be a snip for a striker who is still only 26 and is a proven goalscorer in Europe.
